IN THE NEWS: The Human Rights Campaign goes back on its promise NOT to support a federal non-discrimination bill that excludes transgendered people, arrests in a gay-bashing in NJ, the impending execution a gay man in Iran for alleged sex he engaged in at 13 and more.

Our guest this week for our last 20 minutes is veteran gay legal expert Art Leonard, professor at New York Law School who will discuss a range of LGBT legal issues, including the constitutionality of the civil suit award against Rev. Fred Phelps Westboro Baptist Church and God Hates Fags Ministries for picketing a military funeral. He will also address the use of a hate crimes charge against the defendants in the murder of Michael Sandy as well as provide a legal analysis of the raft of cruising arrests around the country, including that of Sen. Larry Craig.
